Our students need to take ISASP this spring and then our results will be posted with every other public school in the state. We look forward to celebrating our students!

Ahead of his Sunday night game vs. Baltimore, NFL MVP Josh Allen will wear the first of nine custom @NewEraCap hats designed by patients at Buffalo’s Oishei Children’s Hospital. After each home game, the “Director of Billustration” will have his hat auctioned off to support the Patricia Allen Fund. This week’s hat was designed by a five-year-old patient named Jaxson, and fans can start bidding at kickoff of the game at billustration.givesmart.com
No surprise there! Guess what? She is an even better student and person. So happy for her!
Congratulations to Elliette Burkle for breaking the school record for the number of 3 pointers in a single game!
This is a great idea that will help keep some of our highest performing students in state of Iowa! ⬇️

@SChapman7503 is so worthy of this award! I can attest that there is nothing Scott wouldn’t do for a student or family. Truly the definition of a selfless educator. WG is so lucky to have him and it should make us all proud to have someone like Scott representing the Hawks!
Please help us congratulate Mr. Scott Chapman on this recognition! 👏👏👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This morning, six WGHS students took part in their pinning ceremony for the completion of their CNA program at DMACC. Well done, Hawks! Mr. Chapman would like you to ignore the "goon" in the middle.
It’s taken a lot to get to this point (and there’s still so much left to do), but I’m really proud of the progress our team has made turning Des Moines Prep into reality. We are building something special for the students and families of Central Iowa! desmoinesregister.com/story/news/edu…

Change my mind #Bears
I played my favorite game for 12 years. I coached it at the high school level for another 10. I can proudly admit that nothing compares to my first season coaching my oldest son. Great season for the Eagles!
@wgactivities All great kids and so deserving! #GoHawks
@JamesTroupis Ya seems semi-important but who would win on a golf course: Trump? Biden? Harris? Polymetallic nodules? That’s what the free world is dying to know… 😂
Not many people can say they are starting a new school. And I bet almost no one else can say they got to start their planning inside the Chicago Cubs front office. So grateful for my new org offering such an amazing opportunity to our leadership team!
@MindyBuck Miss you more! But I knew you’d see this tweet 😉
Landed in Chicago for my first Opportunity Education leadership retreat. Can’t wait to meet and collaborate with the new team!
My wife Blair is being spotlighted for her entrepreneurship with her small business, Little Hands Dough Co. Amazing to see her hard work getting noticed in our community! Check out her article: desmoinesmom.com/blair-lakis-li…
@MindyBuck Guilty! There’s no way anyone can compare to this group of classy individuals. You know what they say: great friends are like denim - they never fade away!
